Maredsous Abbey

We loved our stay at Hotel Agora! The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got great restaurant recommendations, help with our bags and a friendly greeting everytime we came and went. The building is old with a lot of character. We had big windows opening on to the square and loved hearing the buzz of the city until we closed things up for the night. There was no air conditioning but they supplied 3 fans which helped in the hot weather. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The unique building had some low ceiling in areas so anyone over 6 feet tall needed to duck in parts of the room. The location was great for walking to all the major sites we wanted to see and accessing the train station. There was also a laundromat a few doors down which came in handy. Highly recommend and would stay again.

The staff was very courteous and friendly. However, the room we were assigned on the first night was quite a shock. The shower was located in the bedroom with only a single glass wall for separation. There was no sofa and only one chair in the room, as well as just one small bath towel provided. Overall, the room felt more like a closet than a proper hotel room. Given the price we paid, we expected a much more decent accommodation. The following day, I requested a different room, which we received that evening. This room was significantly better and met our expectations. That said, I believe a discount should have been offered for the first night, which unfortunately did not happen. Overall, the hotel is very clean and modern.
